The Views Golf Club: THERE’S GOOD REASON WE CALL IT THE VIEWS
Golf provides a great opportunity for healthy exercise and social distancing, and we are pleased to state THE VIEWS GOLF CLUB IS OPEN. As the health and safety of our golfers and staff is our #1 priority, we have implemented the outlined policy and practices HERE.
The View Golf Club is a community-owned, semi-private course that is open to the public. We offer daily, monthly, pay-now/play-later & annual passes. Weekly 9 and 18-hole play can be enjoyed by both men’s and women’s leagues and other events allow couples and mixed-member groups to enjoy tournaments, mixers and special programs throughout the year.
Recently awarded Best Golf Course by AZ Daily Star Readers Choice poll, The Best of the Northwest by the NW Explorer newspaper and GEM award from the Southern Arizona Women’s PGA is only one of the reasons why you should come out and play The Views Golf Club of Oro Valley.

Fun, relaxation and breathtaking scenery are the name of the game at The Views Golf Club. At each hole of our 18-hole course and along every step of the way, you will absorb and appreciate the mystic beauty of the surrounding Catalina Mountains that rise from the background like majestic giants. The rolling terrain of the natural desert southwest environment includes trees, cacti and other native plants that dot the landscape.
You will certainly enjoy playing golf surrounded by such invigorating vistas, but you will also hone your skills and improve your game on our challenging course. The Views Golf Club is an awarding winning golf course designed to enhance the golfing experience by featuring subtly elevated greens, challenging bunkers and a small lake found throughout the course. The front nine holes offer gentle slopes that meander through various arroyos and dry washes. The back nine more consistently tests golfing skills via higher elevations and sharper turns.
There are plenty of opportunities to test and improve your golfing abilities. We offer eight sets of tee boxes to choose from that range from 4775 to 6715 yards so you can select and play the yardage that best suits your particular needs. Course ratings range from 67.1 to 72.2 with a variety of slopes from 112 to 133 degrees. You can even skip the course and focus on your short-game at our driving range and practice area. Both annual memberships and daily green fee play are available.
